Nearholmer Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Expecting a very big parcel on that back wagon in the second picture, or is this a ‘sweep up’ taking vehicles away for maintenance, rather than a parcel train? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the caption says it's actually a pick up freight, but I was hoping that no one would notice. Hey, it's mostly a parcel train so.... 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingmoor 1979 That must rate as a rare shot, also note the missing jumper cable socket. There was a Scunthorpe trip working which involved shunting some parcels vans into a bay at the station(it's pictured in one of those old Bradford Barton soft back books)using a single class 20, I dare say Glasgow saw the odd single 20 on a parcel ecs move too. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the perfect solution to whether you have red or white lights on the front of a model...! Yes I know the Heljan model has colour changing lights 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just parked in the Eastbound side siding just outside Llanelli station; all those sidings formed the weekend stabling point for locos serving the local collieries (and the Milford Haven refinery traffic). The GUV may have been in use as a stores vehicle. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GUV may have been in use as a stores vehicle. There was some sort of parcels traffic at Llanelli at the time; I recollect seeing a BR-built 'Monster' in the same siding a few years earlier. What I've been unable to determine is what the van worked; perhaps a Llanelli- Llandeilo or Llandovery working? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
